@timnitGebru thank you for your work in AI research and calling out the problems that exist in our industry. You’re giving more people the courage to speak up, say something and demand change.

When your org is quiet it means people are afraid to complain--not that things are better. The point of the brain women and allies list was for people to be able to discuss issues, and Samy tried to protect me from retaliation. If people in your org are quiet--they're scared.

@SachaBaronCohen We want a change in thinking by our leadership in tech. Would you want to talk to an audience of highly motivated tech workers about how we can make that happen? https://t.co/nysa6pNgVv

I feel like someone killed a background process that had been consuming 5% of my CPU for the last 4 years.

Report acts of violence to @slpng_giants we have to stand up and not allow this to happen. Social media will be the weapon of choice for external and internal actors wanting to incite violence.

[Sleeping Giants @slpng_giants]

🚨 NEW ACTION 🚨

With calls for election-related violence has increasing right now, @facebook will be a prime spot to organize.

If you have a Facebook account and see any serious calls for violence, please screenshot, tweet and tag @slpng_giants or DM it to us.

Thanks.

Want to help your country, volunteer to help count. Want to do yourself a favor, put down the phone. #CountEveryVote #2020Elections

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Every vote will be counted.

[Tech Stands Up @techstandsup]

The main news story tonight should have been “We’ll let you know the results when all the votes are counted” #ElectionNight

We need more scientists and technologists in politics so we actually have people who understand the problems we face today

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

When I tweet on politics, even if I merely post a url, I get many replies like “Stick to science. Politics is not your field.”

Which field, then, does qualify one to hold a political opinion? Are scientists specifically disqualified from thinking & caring about the world?

Every year my family has a cookout, debates politics and research our propositions. Its good to get together with your family and participate in the democratic process. It’s more important than ever to ensure you #MakeAPlan.

Facebook banning political ads a week before the election is like simply taking your foot off the gas when your going 100mph towards a brick wall

We talk a lot about doing "The Good" here in Silicon Valley, but what does that actually mean? How come utopian visions always dissolve into dystopia? In the latest episode of the TSU podcast, we sit down with @debsta4 Professor at CalPoly to discuss https://t.co/R6hbCEIUCW

If the rioters in Portland are truly committed to undermining the United States, they may want Trump to be re-elected. But if they don't, they should stop supplying him with material.

Last week on the Tech Stands Up Podcast I interviewed @ShahidForChange We talk about your privacy, mass surveillance, the green new deal, and what regulations Congress should put on the tech industry. https://t.co/ObYLzIZDUp

[Tech Stands Up @techstandsup]

Contact your member of congress TODAY! We can not lose the fight for #NetNeutrality

[Shahid Buttar @Sheeyahshee]

If we lose #NetNeutrality whatever issues you most care about could be silenced in the face of a corporate cacophony https://t.co/TXFUAZaqE0
